The Japanese word ‘reiki’ can be translated as ‘universal life energy’ and the Usui System is a way of working with reiki for healing of self and others. The word healing is used in the sense of regaining harmony and wholeness. Usui Shiki Ryoho addresses the whole person on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels and those that we cannot identify at the present.

I incorporate reiki as an addition to counselling to provide a calming experience while processing emotions when it is appropriate to do so.  Energy therapy is an invitation to go deeper into a space of self-care and loving acceptance of what is.
